   • Set a trigger to turn off Spotify when a certain Bluetooth device is connected.

4. Force quit Spotify:

Additionally, ensure Autoplay is turned off for both iPhone and Android devices:

1. Open the Spotify app and go to the Settings icon at the top right (Gear icon).
2. Select "Playback" and then toggle off the Autoplay switch under the "Playback" section.

For a more permanent solution on Android devices, you can also find and turn off the "Automatically resume media" feature in your Android Auto settings.
